TIE COLUMBIA CANAL.
The Columbia Canal bill was reached
on Tuesday night. There was fight, a
very hot fight, in which good many
hard words were said and good many
yeas and nays we're called, even after the
House had voted "a to 80 to refuse to
strike out the enacting words Of the bill.
The opposition came principally from
Eagefeld, Sumter, Newberry, Spartan
burg and Darlington. Some Of the
speeches were very bitter.
Dr.. Pope led the attack and charged
the supporters OF the bill with springing
nine on the House. This was denied
by Colonel Haskell in equally emphatic
terms. ALr. Haskell charged the mem
Der from Newberry With making charges
which existed only in his Imagination.
Just about the time when the discussion
was getting red hot another vote was
reached on q motion to smend the bill
IN such way as to give the trustees the
right of way instead o: "the lands as
was expressed in the bill as it cane from
the Senate.
The amendment was adopted yeas
IS, nays 45-and was amended SO as to
give the trustees the right of way, and
the earth, stones and other material
necessary Tor the construction Of the
Canal and banks. This latter amend
ment being accepted by the friends OF
the bill, the House adjourned without
reaching final vote on the bill. Next
day "wednesday the bill passed the
House, with some unimportant amend
ments; and it has since become law.
PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
The House bill to prevent and punish
frauds in primary elections elected a
spirited debate. Mes RS. Hamilton, Of
Chester, the two Thomases, Gary and
Blackwell, of Edgefeld, opposed the
measure, which was roundly denounced
as an unwarrsntsble attempt on the part
OF the Legislature to control the party
machinery with which it Rad nothing to
do. Messrs. Brawley, Hyde, Wilson, OF
York, Rutland, of Fairfield, and Dantz-
Ter, of Orangeburg, advocated the bill on
the grounds Of good public policy. The
bill was finally reconmitted by vote of
81 to about 80, the negative vote not be.
ing counted. To recommit the bill at
such stage of the session was virtually
to kill it.
FORFEITED LANDS.
There were three bills relating to for
feited lands Oh the Calendar. Two of
these were left over from the last session.
One of them, known as the Murray
bill, proposed to remedy the trouble by
bringing suit in the Courts of Common
Pleas against delinquent taxpayers. re-
